WOMEN BEHIND THE SCENES

Meet Your Hosts

Kellé Thorpe

CEO & Financial Business Advisor

This retreat was born from a very specific frustration.

I wanted to curate an experience that was truly a retreat, not a conference masked as one. Not packed agendas, nonstop panels, or information overload disguised as rest. I wanted space. Quiet. A true reset that allowed high-performing women to step away from constant decision-making and reconnect with clarity personally and professionally.

I had never been to Italy, and I wanted to experience it slowly and intentionally. When my co-host Patrice found the villa overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, complete with an infinity pool, and decided to bring in a private chef, it became clear this experience needed to be shared.

This approach is deeply informed by my professional work. I am CEO & Business Advisor at Kommas with Kellé (KWK), where my team advises women-led, service-based businesses generating $1M+ in revenue. Since launching KWK in July 2020, during the height of the pandemic, every client we’ve served has grown many by 50% or more with measurable ROI within the first 30 days.

Patrice Tisdale

Chief Legal Strategist & Litigator

Business Women With Essence was co-created from a deeply personal belief: that women need spaces where ambition and softness can coexist where success doesn’t require constant self-sacrifice, and leadership can feel grounded rather than heavy.

As an attorney, advisor, I have been trusted to guide women leaders who carry real responsibility in business, leadership, and life.

My work sits at the intersection of clarity and courage. With a background in labor, employment, and business law, I have spent my career helping leaders make sound decisions under pressure, navigate complexity with integrity, and build structures that support both growth and people.

I lead with steadiness, warmth, and above all, discernment. I create room for women to step out of survival mode and into alignment surrounded by others who understand the weight of holding it all.
